Night 3 and we find ourselves at Camp Villain. The rain is coming down very hard, going right through their shoddy roof. Everyone is miserable, except probably for Russell. Boston Rob is very upset with how lazy his tribe is. They didn't want to build a proper shelter. They don't want to build a fire. He feels like he's on another tribe of idiots again.
Day 4 and we see Jerri and Coach sharing the sunrise together. How romantic! They talk about the difficult night and agree things have to change for the better. The rest wake up and decide to rebuild their shelter. Rob, who was in construction before becoming a Reality TV celebrity, tries to direct the action, but few are listening. The tribe is too disorganized.
Over at Hero Beach, they, too, decide to beef up their shelter. While most work on that, Stephanie cooks up some coconuts. But Rupert argues with her over her cooking skills. He's already plotting to get rid of her. Back at Camp Villain, Rob's had enough of the bickering. He feels weak and dehydrated. So he takes a break and drinks some coconut milk. Probably not the best idea when you're dehydrated.
He then decides to take a relaxing stroll in the jungle to get away from the rest. Jerri follows him and a good thing, too! Rob gets dizzy and loses consciousness. Jerri tries to communicate with him and then goes fro help. The medics arrives, along with Jeff, and they revive Rob. After getting some water into him, and over his head, he starts to become coherent. The doctors tell Jeff that Rob is basically OK, he's got a touch of the flu and is dehydrated. Rob tells Jeff that The Game is kicking his butt, however, he has no intentions of quitting. The episode makes him more determined to win. Back at camp, Rob lets the rest know his condition and assures them he'll be alright in two days.
Day 5 and it's time for a combination Reward and Immunity Challenge. Two from each tribe will work together to roll large wooden crates across a track to a platform. Once a tribe rolls all six crates to the platform, they may begin to build a staircase with them. If stacked properly, the name of the tribe will be spelt on each side. First tribe to accomplish this, and get all eight members on the top of the platform wins immunity and a reward of a tarp, rope and nails.
Since the event calls for pairs and the Heroes are shy one player, two people from the Villains must sit out. You'd think that Rob would be one of them, but NO! Randy and Courtney get to sit and watch. For the Heroes, Rupert sits it out, due to his busted toe.
Rob & Danielle go against Cirie & JT. The Heroes start off with an early lead. Candice & Tom then go for the next crate as Tyson & Sandra eat their dust. The Heroes stay ahead as Colby & Stephanie stay in front of Jerri & Coach. Likewise, Amanda & James keep the momentum going as they lead Russell & Parvati. Tom & JT then go against Rob & Tyson. For the last crate, the Heroes are still ahead as James & Colby beat Russell & Coach.
While the Heroes started off agreeing to let JT run the show, as he has played this challenge before, the Villains make up for lost time, thanks to Rob yelling at his tribe to shut up and do what he says. James gets mad at Stephanie and Tom for trying to take control of the stacking. Meanwhile, the Villains assemble their staircase and win the event.
Back at Hero Beach, JT takes the blame for the loss. Rupert disagrees and says that JT should have been like Rob and tell the rest to shut up. James adds to that, scolding the tribe, telling them that he's never been a loser. Tom thinks James is in fantasy land. Meanwhile, the Villains praise Rob for their victory. This makes Russell jealous. After Rob gets some large clams for dinner, Russell sees some wild chickens running about. He sets off after them and bags one. Russell is deter- mined to be a provider. Over at Hero Beach, Tom, Colby and Stephanie feel threatened. They plot to get Amanda booted.
Day 6 and Stephanie chats up Cirie about booting Amanda. Steph plays the "you'll be next" card on Cirie, should she get voted off instead. Tom does likewise with Candice, putting similar thoughts in her head. Later, Cirie and Candice talk about who to boot. Candice seems to be wavering in favor of booting Amanda. Cirie tells her that Amanda cost her a million dollars last time.
At Tribal Council, JT still feels to blame for the loss. James is frustrated and calls out Stephanie for being disruptive. She defends herself and the two bicker back and forth. Colby jumps in on Stephanie's side, as does Tom. Tom tells James he's being a bully. Jeff brings up past relationships again and Stephanie tells all that it was Tom who slit her throat the last time they played together. This prompts Cirie to mention how Amanda did her in, too. Amanda gets worried and agrees that past events could play a role in the voting.
It's time to vote. We see Stephanie and Amanda trade votes. Jeff then gathers the ballots and counts them off. It's 6 to 3 against Stephanie. Only Tom and Colby voted with her. The rest send Stephanie packing. As Jeff snuffs off her torch, she scolds James for his bullying. James tells her to shut up and leave. Tom takes offense and tells James to cool it. Jeff tells them all they have a lot of work to do to get back in The Game.
SPOILERS: The saga of James' temper continues. He gets mouthy and frustrated during a physical challenge. Will he be sent to an anger management class soon?
